Abstract
Certain special types of categories, called Toposes, can formulate basic facts about sheaf theory in topology and algebraic geometry and thus clarify the role of geometry in independence proofs by forcing. They also establish a remarkable connection with intuitionist logic. This paper will summarize these results.
